its good you can go that long....i remember id get exhausted after like 5 songs when i was learning. glad to see things are looking up

yeah, i get exhausted after like 5 songs, that's usually as long as i mix for. which is shitty, because i am not developing any set building abilities whatsoever.

it's just hard to find the time with a full time job, a girlfriend, and a full life.

when i started i could only beatmatch for about 10 sec too but several years later i can get them on pretty quickly and hold them for a couple minutes. i prefer to use the pitch slider to speed up and slow the record for fine adjustments, b/c i dont like pushing or slowing the vinyl by hand. i am not that good at it and if you mess up the smallest bit pushing or slowing, it can get really off. good luck and keep practicing.

the best way to get better is to record yourself. plain and simple.

and of course time and patience but the recording is a must.

Hey IKKI,
I think most of the points you need to look out for have already been covered.
Just would like to make a couple of points.
I think what Dj Pulse was tryin to say that you should release your tracks on the bar.It definately sounds better and is a tad easier to mix if you release your track at the start of a 32beat set.

As far as listening to both channels in the headphones I am dead against it.
Always listen to the track you're bringin in in your headphones.
This way when you have to bend it is never a luck thing.
I had a friend who learnt on a gemini mixer which has the split cue function.For two years I told him to give up the habit.Nowadays all the clubs are switchin to DJM 500 mixers which dont have a split cue[cue-program]function and he's finding it really tough to adapt.

So dont make yourself dependent to a particular type of mixer.
Also cue program if ok if you have to mix club,house or trance track which have long beat intros.If you have to mix any other genre of music say hip hop or pop where the vocals start immediately then you will hear two set sof tunes and vocals in your head phones and find it very confusin.

Since you are just starting out try not using the split cue as it will make you a more versatile dj imo.

If you need clearing up on any point please lemme know cause I've tried to keep it short.

Keep at it.

First of all Thank you guys (again) .
I used to touch the vinyls to get them beatmatch but I'm not doing it anymore I just try to beatmatch by using the pitch . I also started to listen to the song I'm bringing in on my headphones.
But I cannot keep the beatmatch for more than 10 secs, why is that ? what am I doing wrong , I guess they are not perfectly beatmatch, the other thing is that sometimes my mixes sound like a machine gun parrrparraapparrrapparrrrappaarrr is it a good sign or a bad one ? I might be wrong but I think that I'm really close to get the two song beatmatch (perfectly) when that happens , But I need to know what really is !

If any of you guys who's helped me want to come To florida and son't have a place to stay, just let me know my house is your house thank you sooo much : House in Jax and Miami !

You have been a member of TranceAddict for 6 days and you say we can stay at your house. That is a little scary.
